    Sgian Dubh 1 dollar

    Found my first Sgian Dubh at a government surplus sale for $1.00. They where in a large barrel that must have contained over a 1000 knives. I wonder if this is what they confiscate at the airport. It is a cheapy but for a dollar who can complain. This will be the first to my collection.

    They had some kilts there but they looked in horrible shape and they where sold with a bundle of other items (75 dollars, had all kinds of junk.) I will definatley be on the look out next time I am there!

    This is almost identical to my first, except mine has a rampant lion rather than a harp. Cheap, sure, but you know, I still carry it more than any other because, I think, you always have a soft spot for your "firsts."
